Keep Climbing
Friday - December 22, 2023
Tumblr media
In September I traveled to southwestern France, and visited the town of Montségur. In the town is this imposing mountaintop in which the ruins of one of the last strongholds of the Cathars still remain. I, along with six other impressive women, hiked to the top and spent time in those ruins. To say that hike (or climb) was challenging for me personally is an understatement. It took some internal determination, a sturdy walking stick, and the strong and steady hand of one of my Sisters. But once at the top, everything it took to get there - from the eleven hour flight from Atlanta, to the grunting and groaning of the climb - was 100%, unequivocally worth it.
Now that the Sun has moved into Capricorn we are more aware of the "work" ahead of us. And for many of you who have already been "working," you're looking at that Mountain and wondering if you have it in you. Can you possibly put one foot in front of the other one more time.
YES you can, and it's important to keep reminding yourself of that today. A retrograde Mercury conjuncts the Sun today at 0° Capricorn, an alignment that can have your mind doing the proverbial "making a mountain out of a molehill." No mountain is scaled in one step, no problem solved with one single solution. It is the combination of steps, in a consistent walk, that puts you on the mountaintop.
Don't shy away from the climb right now, even if you are tired and a bit weary. There was a time when you wished for that mountain, for the opportunity to scale the heights ... and now it's here.
Remember, from The Sound of Music's signature song ... Climb every mountain, Ford every stream, Follow every rainbow, 'Till you find your dream.

Alaïs se tenait sur les murs de la citadelle de Montségur, silhouette gracile et esseulée dans son épais manteau d'hiver. La beauté lui était venue avec le passage des ans. Si mince qu'elle fût, la grâce se reflétait dans son visage, son port de tête, son maintien. Elle regarda ses mains : dans la lumière matinale, elles semblaient bleutées, presque translucides. Des mains de vieille femme. Alaïs sourit. Vieille, non. Plus jeune que son père quand la mort l'avait emporté.
Kate Mosse, Labyrinthe, LdP p. 699

Quem são os guardiões secretos do Santo Graal?
Quem são os guardiões secretos do Santo Graal?
Os “Puros” salvaram um antigo artefato que dá poder sobre o mundo. O artefato foi literalmente “removido” das garras dos inquisidores, e a punição foi o martírio. Imagem de Davie Bicker por Pixabay Não há tantos lugares no mundo que atraiam tanta atenção de esoteristas e historiadores quanto o pequeno castelo de Montségur, localizado em uma montanha íngreme no sul da França. Este castelo não…

Montségur… Cette religion des Cathares sans Crèche, ni Croix, sans prière ni Grâce… Ces «parfaits» qui rejettent toute vie imparfaite… ces Purs qui s’efforcent de sauver Dieu et lui opposent un autre créateur pour le justifier du Mal dont la Création l’accuse et ôter de dessus de Lui le Péché du Monde… En vérité, tout cela me semble grand. Trop grand. Je me suis toujours éloignée de ce qui, devant Dieu, manque de misère… «Si je dois me glorifier, ce sera de ma faiblesse» et «Sa Grâce me suffit». Rien ne me paraît plus beau, entre Dieu et l’homme, que ces relations magnifiques du Péché et de la Grâce… Le Péché, cette grande blessure, ce grand cri – l’Église, avec David, ne chante guère autre chose – et la Grâce, le grand amour qui entre par cette plaie. Je ne voudrais pas, oh ! non ! être sans péché. Je ne voudrais pas, à Dieu, fermer cette porte grande ouverte. Misère… miséricorde. Toute la religion du Christ tient en ces deux mots-là – le Seul. Marie-Noël in Notes Intimes

Twinkling Star of Montsegur (Choka Poem)
(Poem about the medieval siege of Château de Montségur, a religious battle aimed to destroy the Cathars)
Beneath stars twinkling
Sophia and Christ flew down
In the form of birds
In the form of large vultures
Vultures filled with grace
Vultures from the Great Mountains
The Mountains of Snow
They both perched on an ash tree
Whose roots go deep down
To Hades, the home of worms
Whose trunk goes high up
To the Kingdom of Heaven
They watched the white lambs
Twinkling with heavenly spears
Glittering with shields
Shining in holy armour
Gleaming with their swords
Ready to defend their home
Their faithful castle
Against the wolves of Saklas
However old fate
That serpent trapped in hunger
Wanted to slaughter
Every lamb looking upwards
Every faithful lamb
To snuff out their shining light
The light of the world
The two vultures from heaven
Knew this coming fate
And so, they sang in secret
“The home is the spear
The castle is the army
The home is the shield
The castle is the armour
The home is the sword
This small star of holy faith
Will soon disappear
When the red fire rises
From the dying earth
But after a day of toil
You will reunite
As a palace of starlight
And the lambs shall watch
As shining angels at peace
As twinkling stars of the night”
